Terrifically Obvious Realizations People Had Way Too Late In Life

Reality is a tenuous thing. If you quietly have an extremely dumb misconception about something, it's unlikely that someone is going to point it out to you until that thing is brought up in conversation. Right now, all of us probably have some real stupid junk floating around in the back of our heads. Stuff like "onions probably go on trees" or "I hope too many people don't visit Hawaii at the same time, I'd hate to see the Island sink."

And people will let you continue to have these thoughts, too. Out of politeness or sheer fascination at your stupid wrongness, you can continue pronouncing quinoa the wrong way or insist that ketchup is a kind of animal milk for a scary long time before anyone tries to call you on it. Sure, that's how you get 40 year olds walking around who think it's a good idea to put metal in the microwave, but at least no one had to have a difficult conversation. Only a difficult time trying to find a new, non-burned-down place to live.

Here are some moreobvious things people learned way too late in life.
